Job Responsibility:

  • Partner with chief engineers, system architects, and product teams to understand customer requirements, use cases, and performance expectations
  • Assess project complexity, technical risks, and capability gaps early in the product lifecycle
  • Provide a validation perspective during specification and use-case definition to shape scope, feasibility, and testability
  • Influence product architecture by defining debug, observability, and validation hooks as the design matures
  • Develop the high-level SoC validation strategy in collaboration with domain experts, identifying coverage gaps, risk areas, and mitigation plans
  • Lead or actively contribute to test plan definition and reviews, with deeper involvement for new IP blocks, first-of-kind architectures, or new validation methodologies
  • Work with validation leads to ensure technical readiness, tooling, and skill development required for execution
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (firmware, board, platform, IP validation, emulation, and post-silicon teams) to enable effective SoC-level integration and validation
  • Provide hands-on technical guidance to validation teams during execution, particularly for complex or ambiguous technical issues
  • Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of high-severity, cross-domain validation challenges
  • Ensure strong alignment between validation intent, execution progress, and overall product milestones
  • Lead path-finding and exploratory efforts to develop new validation methodologies, support emerging technologies and protocols, and define future debug and observability requirements
  • Drive adoption of automation, scalable frameworks, and validation best practices across projects
  • Act as a technical thought leader and mentor, influencing validation quality and technical direction across the organization

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 18+ years of experience in SoC or IP validation, silicon bring-up, or system validation, with increasing technical leadership responsibility
  • Strong understanding of SoC architectures, including CPU subsystems, interconnects, memory, and peripheral IPs
  • Proven experience influencing validation strategy during early architecture and specification phases
  • Hands-on expertise in debug, coverage analysis, complex issue triage, and root-cause isolation
  • Experience working across multiple projects and technology domains simultaneously
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with architects, designers, firmware engineers, and leadership teams
